    PAIN AU CHOCOLAT.
    Noah D.

    Went to Case Bastille in Fort Lauderdale for brunch. We got there around 1 PM and were quoted a one-hour wait. It ended up taking 43 minutes to get a table, which we were relatively pleased with. Since this is a popular spot and they don't take reservations, we didn't know what to expect. Things started off a little rocky. The host gave us two seating options, and both were in direct sunlight because one of their umbrellas had broken the day before. We understand that things happen and it's not entirely their fault, but it was still pretty unfortunate. Thankfully, after about five minutes, someone at a shaded table left, and our waiter, Ian, moved us over. Realistically, I don't think we would have been able to stay much longer if that hadn't happened. Another issue was that one of our menus was dirty when we were seated. There was food on it, and it ended up getting on our table. This was quickly fixed, but it definitely turned me off. We ordered a Chai Latte and a Coconut Foam Matcha. We thought both drinks were pretty good, but definitely overpriced. I wouldn't go out of my way to grab a drink here. The drinks were expensive, and they still charged an extra dollar if you wanted to substitute the milk. For food, we ordered the Smoked Salmon Omelet and the Israeli Breakfast. The omelet was nothing special; I felt like it lacked salmon. It was filling, but nothing particularly memorable. The Israeli Breakfast, on the other hand, was really good. We appreciated the variety it offered, and it felt very unique. At first glance, it didn't look like it would be filling, but it definitely was. We also ordered the chocolate croissant. It was good, but it wasn't very chocolatey. One thing worth noting is that this place automatically adds a 20% service fee to all checks. Thankfully, our waiter deserved it, but I didn't like not being given the choice. Overall, I think this place is okay. Is it worth the hype? Personally, I don't think so. There are other brunch spots I'd rather try before coming back.

    The portions are very generous and the food is pretty tasty. Pricing is a bit on the ridiculous side for some basic breakfast plates. Great seating and ambiance for sure especially the outdoor seating on the water.

    STRAWBERRY FOAM MATCHA.

    To say this place is amazing would be an understatement. Got there around 10 AM and was seated immediately, opted for outside seating and it was a gorgeous day. The servers name escapes me, but she was very helpful and able to recommend lots of treats. Matcha latte was a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Definitely one of if not the best Matcha latte I've had. I'm not a coffee drinker but my friend loved the pistachio latte and presentation was 10 out of 10 on all dishes. Even after a full delicious meal, I couldn't resist taking home some pastries. Brought home a crème brûlée croissant, a Nutella croissant and a crookie. The crème brûlée fell a little short, but still delicious. I had it hours later at home so it wasn't as fresh but that falls on me. my overall favorite was the crookie. You still get the buttery layers of a croissant with the gooey chocolate chip cookie need I say more?

    My mom and I went to Cafe Bastille for breakfast and it was such a cute spot. We sat outside and had a really lovely view of the water, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was very good. For food, we got the yogurt parfait and the dulce de leche French toast, and both were delicious. Everything tasted super fresh and very well made. The service was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in Fort Lauderdale!

    We visited Café Bastille on a Sunday for brunch, and overall it was a really great experience. Just a heads up--they don't take reservations, so it's walk-in only. We were initially quoted a 45-minute wait for a table but once we got there we requested a table right by the wayater, so we decided to grab two coconut foam matchas (served iced only) and walk around. To our surprise, it wasn't even 20 minutes before we got a text that our table was ready, which was a nice bonus. Our server, Jean, was fantastic--very attentive, patient while we took our time deciding, and gave great recommendations that we ended up loving. At first, we were going to be seated at a table that wasn't directly on the water, but we let the hostess know we preferred to wait a bit longer for a waterfront table. I'm really glad we did because the views made such a difference. Once seated, we ordered two hot pistachio lattes, the Turkish eggs, the Smoked Salmon Benedict (which comes with a bowl of house potatoes), and the Steak and Eggs Bowl. Everything was delicious and well-prepared, and the drinks were just as good as they looked. The side aioli that comes with the house potatoes was especially good--honestly so good that the portion felt a little small, and we ended up asking for more (which we also used on the steak and eggs bowl). One thing I really appreciated is their ingredient quality and sourcing--they fry exclusively with beef tallow, cook with butter and EVOO only, use free-range chicken and cage-free eggs, and even their non-dairy milks are seed-oil-free. It's a detail you don't see everywhere and definitely adds to the overall experience. Between the great food, beautiful waterfront views, and lively atmosphere, it made for a really enjoyable brunch. Definitely worth checking out if you don't mind a bit of a wait!

    .Came on a Thursday for a bday brunch, 10:30 am. It was busy but they sat us within a few minutes. This restaurant is mostly outdoor but there is an inside area as well. Super cute and aesthetic including napkins and plates. Food was good but it came out cold. Turkish breakfast was good, sweet potato waffles were good not too sweet. I had the Tiramisu Tini to drink, it was amazing. Service was very slow and sitting outside without umbrellas was painfully hot. May come back in cooler weather. Should have more waiters since this is a busy place.

    ISRAELI BREAKFAST.

    Wow is the only word that best describes cafe bastille. We're visiting from NYC to take a cruise. We really wanted to have a great breakfast for send off and this restaurant delivered. We ordered the French toast, steak and eggs, and Israeli breakfast. EVERYTHING was on point and delicious. The potatoes were nice and crunchy and well salted. The plates could really be shared since they were so hearty. Even the peanutbutter chocolate shake was great. My son is a picky eater and he ate a lot and drank down the shake. Highly recommend if in the area. The service was lovely and the ambience is romantic with good music.

    Publix cake that was deteriorating since they kept us ina. Scorching sun with no umbrellas working

    Sunday brunch, no reservations allowed, expected time of an hour and 1/2 which is fine. We were 7 adults and 4 children. If I could give this place a zero or negative I would. Unfortunately it doesn't allow it. Manager and assistant manager should be replaced. They just walk around with iPads and clueless. Here's the rundown: I proceeded to the "inside bar/ pick up area " and waited 15 min for someone to make a vodka drink and mimosa. The male manager passed by me probably 3 times and the assistant Allison twice. I finally lost my patience and asked Allison when she passed by a 3rd time - who I can place the order with. She said oh I can take your order. Proceed with my 2 drinks and went back to the front. There was a lady waiting to order I told her good luck, they all work on the tickets receive but the manager is the guy and I think assistant is the girl but they split. Upon check in to the host we asked if we can keep the cake at the hostess stand to not carry drinks and cake and for the cake not to melt. They said they couldn't. They eventually sat us in the table where the scorching sun was right at us claiming that ALL the umbrellas were broken. We were holding the menus on our faces to help with the sun. We ordered drinks and and I asked for my vodka drink where the waitress advised me that they don't do spirits, so when I ordered with the assistant manager a vodka cocktail she did not tell me it was wine based or whatever they call it. I'm like okay at this point, whatever. Let's talk about the food... the French toast Nutella was the only good thing, everyone was trying my plate as theirs was horrible. Their meal of meat was very chewy. 2 of our friends ordered unlimited mimosas. It was pulling teeth to get a second mimosa after 45 min. We ordered 4 "tequila" espresso which one had a hair in, as soon as the server started giving us the drinks my friend noticed before it got to me and I got a picture of it. She asked if I wanted to make another one, of course not! All they would do as lazy as they all were working was probably remove the hair. The lady server left and never told us she was leaving so we were patiently looking waiting for her and eventually realized she left. They charged us a $25 cake fee that no one let us know. When we got seated I asked again if they can put in fridge so it wouldn't melt in the scorching heat they put us in. They said no - because of "cross contamination" mind you it was a publix sealed cake. So we covered it as much possible but half melted. Fine... when we got the check and saw the $25 cake fee, we asked and they argued that we had to pay it. We even brought our own plates and candle. But we didn't think we could need a lighter, they couldn't give us one. But they sure wanted to charge us for the cake fee lol. Allison had to tell her worthless manager and finally removed from our account as a "one time". As if we were guilty. We also had a big birthday balloon that a friend gave to the birthday girl but the hostess told us we couldn't take to the table and they would hold it for her when we departed. When we left, the hostess was gone and balloon as well. It's not much, but it's the small details. The customer service, the male manager and assistant if that was her role looked so miserable and disgruntled. We finally got our check with the mandatory 20% which they truly did NOT receive. The manager upon leaving and the staff looking for balloon that they couldn't find, tried to make it better by offering us the "best made drink by him" wine based drinks to go, which were gross but I think is against the law to take in alcohol plastic cups to your car. I threw mine out as it tasted like a headache. I don't think none of us will ever be back, nor anyone we told about the horrible experience. It had great reviews on tik tok and IG the main reason we went. Go elsewhere!!! Better brunch places out there with better service.

    TRUFFLE CROQUE MADAME.
    Sophia R.

    As usual, every dish that I get at this restaurant is a 10 out of 10. This time I got the truffle croque Madame and it was phenomenal. We also got truffle fries for the table and they were really delicious as well. Someone I was with got the avocado toast and said it was delicious and another person got the Turkish eggs and also said it was delicious. Overall, the food was great and our server was very sweet and attentive as well.

    FRANK'S FAMOUS HASH.
    Vadesha P.

    This place is a must for breakfast/brunch. It's in the perfect sport, nestled a few blocks away from the busy Las Olas blvd. We arrived around 9:30 am without reservations and there was already a line! We waited for about 15 mins before we were able to get seated. It was a crisp cool 60 degree morning, so we decided to sit outside. In true Florida fashion (New Yorker here) they had heaters in strategic locations around the patio. For drinks, we ordered the FRENCH TOAST CAPPUCCINO & HOT CHOCOLATE. They were both so rich and delicious. I could definitely see what the hype is about. Next came the TURKEY BRIE BENEDICT and FRANK'S FAMOUS HASH. In their Benedict's, they use their in house croissant instead of the usual English muffin. This was a delicious substitution and I won't have it any other way. The Benedict was topped with the most perfect porched egg. Just delicious! Franks famous hash was also a pleaser. Sausages were perfectly cooked with a little crisp on the bottom and seasoned perfectly. It came with some deliciously fried potato. We left with happy tummies. :-)

    Came here for brunch today with my friend cause we wanted a cute little brunch spot. They don't take reservations so when we arrived around 1pm on Saturday, they quoted us a 35 minute wait for outside seating. We ended up waiting an hour for a table which was a little annoying since we were told 35 minutes, but whatever. They have a little waiting area in the front of the restaurant with umbrellas and seats as well as a bar cart that sells coffee and mimosas/bellinis. They automatically include 20% gratuity which is a little annoying, but again, whatever. They also only have 2 restrooms, so there's always a line to use it and it's right in the kitchen area/by the front door so it gets busy and you don't really have anywhere good to stand and wait. Other than those negatives, I really liked the place. It is a super cute restaurant/cafe and is located right on the water. They have giant umbrellas outside that cover the entire patio. I will say the tables are pretty close together, but we didn't mind. The food was pretty good and drinks were also nice. I will say we literally thought our server clocked out for the day and didn't tell us because one our food came out he legit never came back to check on us till it was time to leave. This was annoying because we had ordered bottomless mimosas, and he never came around to refill our drinks. We had to get someone else to refill our drinks for us. 20% gratuity is also automatically included in the bill for the restaurant. I enjoyed my meal here, but idk if I'll go out of my way to come back.

    Café Bastille is a Fort Lauderdale gem. The waterfront vibe is chic and the food is even better. The ​pistachio iced latte was the perfect pistachio flavor and creamy. For food, I got the Croque Madame. The truffle béchamel makes this incredibly decadent. ​We got great service and even better views. Great for a chic brunch enjoying the beautiful Florida winter weather.

    My amazing friend planned a brunch for just the two of us at Café Bastille, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. The aesthetic, the exceptional service, and the delicious food were all top-notch, and it's super hard to come across a place that truly checks every box. Our server, Melany Aka Mel was so sweet and knowledgeable and took such good care of us. I ordered the Mediterranean omelette, and to my surprise, it wasn't your ordinary omelette, it had fresh avocado and fresh veggies, and everything tasted incredibly delicious. The matcha latte was perfect as well. Since everything is made in-house, it makes the experience even more special. There's plenty of street parking near the restaurant, but I highly recommend making a reservation, especially during peak hours. I'm also happy they have multiple locations. I can't wait to go back!

From the moment we walked in, we were transported from an ordinary strip mall setting into a charming English tea room filled with flowers, beautiful décor, cozy seating, and even fun royal family cutouts for photos. Every table felt unique, and the elegant china added to the experience. We chose the Duchess Tea Package, which included a pot of tea, soup or salad, and a three-tiered selection of sandwiches and desserts. The sandwiches were delicious, featuring favorites like tuna salad, egg salad, turkey, and croissant sandwiches. We also enjoyed scones, macarons, cheesecake, and other sweet treats. You can also opt to order regular menu brunch items like eggs Benedict, crepes , or French toast . To make the birthday celebration extra special, I ordered desserts for my friends, which were beautifully presented while the staff sang "Happy Birthday." It was such a thoughtful touch. The tea selection was extensive, and our server was attentive and friendly despite the restaurant being completely full. We arrived at 11 a.m. on a Sunday and the dining room remained busy throughout our visit. There was even a baby shower being hosted in a private area. They do offer outdoor seating, but I highly recommend sitting inside to fully enjoy the atmosphere. My friends and I wore our large hats and gloves to embrace the tea party experience, and we took so many wonderful photos and memories home with us. Overall, Vienna Café & Bistro exceeded my expectations. The food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail made for a memorable afternoon, and I can't wait to return.
